NONE!!!!!!

Local Hobby Shop in Watertown NY, changed hands years back and then eventually closed.

Next closest hobby shop one hour away in Baldwinsville NY abruptly closed and sold all

stock off to an out of state hobby shop.

Then there was the hobby shop in Utica NY that closed it's doors because they could NOT make ends meet. Owner even tryed

to diversify and was selling fire arms in the basement, But with NYS regulations, it became impossible for them to continue to sell

fire arms and Trains were not making enough.

We have one hobby shop in Syracuse, but the carry new stock and very little pre or post war stock.

Then one hobby shop North of us about 1 and 1/2 hrs went into RC cars and has let the train field die in their shop.

I do have a friend that sold that hobby shop north of us that keeps me in trains (he sells at shows) and I help him fix trains to sell, so we have a good relationship.
